Ashta, those sound wonderful! Question though. Do you cook them in a storebought graham cracker crust, or the usual cheesecake crust that you do yourself in a springform pan?

You can do either actually. I am lazy most days and buy the store bought one, but if you are adventurous the homemade crusts work too... I use vanilla wafers and cinnamon grahams together for the pumpkin.

They sound yummy. So I can translate the recipe, what weight is a block of cream cheese, and a 'square' of chocolate in the US. In NZ we get cream cheese in varying size containers, and chocolate in anything between 50gram and 350gram blocks.

Cream cheese is 8 ounces. Chocolate comes in a bar that is serrated into squares that are about 1" x 1 " and 1/4" thick.

Thanks for the recipe. I have a Red Cross Christmas dinner on Dec. 7 and this would be perfect. I also just finished making all my pumpkin puree. Can you tell me what size can of pumpkin? Do you know how many cups that might be? Thanks again.
